Data protection and cybersecurity are critical components in modern supply chains, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of sensitive information. As supply chains become increasingly digital and interconnected, they are more vulnerable to cyber threats such as data breaches, ransomware attacks, and supply chain disruptions.
Cleveland Police will be delivering this elementary workshop on behalf of the Tees Valley Supply Chain. Businesses across all sectors and sizes are encouraged to participate. You’ll gain valuable insights into data protection, risk reduction, disruption prevention, maintaining trust and how to build a competitive edge.
The event will be delivered at Cleveland Police’s award-winning Community Safety Hub in Hemlington, featuring modern facilities and ample car parking.
